How can I uninstall Parrot OS and install Windows again?

Community Answer

You will need the Windows CD that came with your computer. Find out if you need to press F12 or F8 to choose the boot order, cdrom/usb. Reinstalling Windows will automatically wipe out Parrot OS.

Question

Will this delete all my previous files on the older OS?

Yes, if you perform that CLAPPED action your files from your previous os will be deleted because you are incapable of transferring them over.
